On this blog you'll find a daily analysis of the forecast of the surf, windsurf, kitesurf and foiling conditions in Maui.
Email me if you need a Maui surf guide or a surf, SUP, SUP foil, prone foil or windfoil lesson. I've been teaching water sports since 2001.

Your breakdown of hector's swell makes sense logically.. but from my experience with dozens of hurricane swells living in Florida, they always arrived by the time the storm was parallel with us (and we had a similar blocking situation with the Bahamas). Maybe because the swell has been brewing for so long and begins to wrap even before it's unobstructed? I also think it will be a slightly longer period than 10 seconds... my guess is 12 seconds... But I predict that Maui will feel the hurricane swell sooner than predicted. I also predict that it will, sadly, be smaller than expected. The strongest part of the storm (the upper right quadrant) is aimed away from us, and unfortunately we only have the smallest and weakest part of the storms winds pointed at us. I hope I'm wrong!

Plenty availability of studios and apts in Paia and the north shore.

About Me

Born and raised in Italy, I became an engineer and worked 11 years in the IT industry. Sick of that, in 2001 I wanted to take a year off and spend it in Maui, the best windsurfing spot in the world. Not only I'm still here (in Maui), but I also got into surfing. And the stoke is flying high. Life is too short to work 8 hours a day...
